It is with great sadness that we have to announce Eucl3D, the supplier who produces 3D prints for a number of developers, will be closing its doors next week.

As such we're dropping you a quick line to let you know that after this weekend (Sunday 11 /Dec / 2016) it will no longer be possible to redeem codes for or purchase the three WFTO Statuettes from Eucl3D.

We felt it prudent to advise our Kickstarter backers as soon as possible as a number of you will have received discount codes, while anyone who pledged at Tier 7 and above will have received a code to redeem for a free statuette. These codes should still be valid if you have not used them and any orders made on or before Sunday will be fulfilled.

To use your code simply enter the code at checkout in the relevant area. Also please be aware that there may be a customs charge if you live outside the US, as this is where Eucl3D is based.

We're proud to have worked with Eucl3D on these figures and we're extremely pleased with how they turned out, as are many of our fans. They're a little physical manifestation of the years of hard work we put in and continue to put in to War for the Overworld, something that we can use to remind ourselves everything we achieved together and with the help of our fans.

We wish the team a Eucl3D the best of luck as they move on to new things. Please be sure to drop by their shop and also to tweet @Eucl3D with your thanks if you do own one of their products.

Patch 1.4 and Heart of Gold are available now, and they’ve been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from you. We’re pleased that the changes we’ve made and the new expansion have met, and in some cases, exceeded your expectations!

Anyway we’d like you to know that we, the Brightrock Games team, will be holding an “Ask Me Anything (AMA)” discussion on Reddit and we’re eager to invite you all to join us and well… ask us anything!

Just pop on over to /r/IAmA at 7PM UK Time on Tuesday the 31st of May and we’ll be answering anything that comes in. We’ll have a few different members of the team from different disciplines so feel free to ask us questions on what it’s like to work in those fields, questions on WFTO, about our lives as indie devs or anything you can think of!

We're just dropping by to give you an update as we've just released our largest update to WFTO since release. Patch 1.4 includes a massive number of changes, improvements and fixes as well as more features than you can shake a stick at.

It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally happening. Our fulfillment provider began shipping your physical rewards to you late last week - some of you (in the UK) should have already begun to receive your rewards.

We know that you’ve had to wait a long time for this and we can only apologise for the regular delays in shipping your rewards. We’ve learned a lot of lessons from this campaign and if we ever do this again we’ll be sure to carry those on!

Regardless, we hope that the end result will have been worth the wait and that you enjoy your physical goodies, whatever they may be.

We here at Brightrock Games (yup that’s a new name, full announcement soon ;) ) would like to thank you all for your continued support and patience. Without your backing and dedication we could never have brought War for the Overworld to market, and certainly never continued to support it through dozens of free updates as well as the upcoming expansion Heart of Gold!

Your generosity has helped us to transition our operation from a group of plucky fans distributed across the world into a studio centred in the heart of Brighton, with big plans for both the present and future. Together with you we’ve celebrated our successes while weathering and learning from our failures. We hope that our commitment to you has shined through during the project and beyond.

A Few Reminders

With all that said the War for the Overworld Kickstarter is now nearly complete, with almost all rewards fulfilled to the best of our capabilities. But there’s still a few more things to remind you of and assure you that we’ve not forgotten:

The Dungeoneer’s Guide is still in production and is nearing completion. We hope to have this released and into your Steam folders during the summer.

Just before release you voted on what flex-goal you would like to see. You voted for an enhanced Survival mode, so expect to see that in a free update after Heart of Gold.

The DRM-Free build will be updated sometime after Heart of Gold, though as always with the standard caveats (limited updates, no Steamworks features, no DLC).

We’re looking to start community translations post Heart of Gold. If you want to see translations into your language or just want to see better ones, drop by this thread and sign up!

Finally, we’d like to remind you all that Heart of Gold is free to you as backers once it releases, and you should already see it linked to your Steam Account. If you’ve not played in awhile this will be the perfect time to jump back in!

To close we’d like to issue one last thank you to everyone who has worked with us on War for the Overworld, including contractors and colleagues from across the world, and our team of dedicated volunteers who help to QA the game. Without your hard work this would not have been possible.
